Episode 148: The Truffles of the Fiend Folio

The Gaming Hut acquires extra filigrees and an extended backstory as we examine the cognitive investments gamers make when they learn to love detail.

The Food Hut takes a turn for the imaginary in response to this medieval recipe for griddle-roasted unicorn, brought to our attention by Terry O’Carroll. What happens when F20 adventurers start to regard monsters and mythical creatures not just as opponents, but as ingredients in fantasy-world cuisine?

In Ask Ken and Robin, Sean Phelan asks for ground rules on killing key NPCs offstage.

Finally we find ourselves in the Eliptony Hut, inspired by a CIA document drop on Project Blue Book, to investigate disinformation campaigns waged against UFOlogists.

Look out, Lieutenants of evil! The sinister mastermind you work for has taken some time to shake the post-conquest blues. But he’ll be back soon, and your survival depends on impressing him. Thankfully, our lead sponsor Atlas Games has just what you need: their delightful new card game of competitive minion-stacking, Three Cheers for Master.
